The therapeutic course of is lastly beginning to start in tonight’s new episode of Hearth Nation. A couple of are dealing with it higher than others, however one factor I imagine to be true is that they’re going to get via this provided that they begin to belief each other.
Jake holds on to the truth that he heard that Brett Richards has been asking round for firehouse openings simply in case he has to dismiss members of Station 42. I imply it’s nice that he’s sharing this with Bode now, however he’s been holding on to it for a few week. That doesn’t sound like a very long time, however in response to Brett’s timeline he’s giving Station 42 two weeks to get their act collectively. As he’s saying this, Bode notices that Jake has Vince’s axe. This units Bode off and Jake merely says his father left it to him in response to the need.
This was robust to listen to solely as a result of that axe has been within the Leone household for generations and to have it move Bode should’ve damage him. So Jake obtained the axe, Eve obtained his guitar, what was left for Bode? To make issues worse, it’s Vince’s birthday. As I used to be watching Bode start to lose it, I couldn’t assist however say to myself Bode, let it go, however I get it now.

Eve has the day without work and helps Sharon accumulate Vince’s issues for donations. Whereas they’re sorting via all of Vince’s garments, Manny stops by and that’s when Sharon provides him Vince’s problem coin. Now if we’re holding observe right here: Eve will get his guitar, Jake will get his axe, and now Manny will get his problem coin– what does Bode get? From what Jake stated, it will was drafted earlier than Bode obtained again house and obtained clear which explains why he isn’t getting something, however critically?
Again on the station, Bode goes via securing knots with just a few station members when Brett walks in telling him the time he clocked was fallacious. He makes Bode do it this time and instances him, Bode fails every time. I do know Bode is aware of how to do that, however I didn’t like how he allowed himself to be distracted. I wished Brett to chop him some slack, however Bode must get his head within the sport proper now.

Eve and Jake drop off a few of Vince’s issues and that’s when Eve reminds Jake that it’s Vince’s birthday. Which he thinks is why Bode was appearing the best way he was. One other factor Eve tells Jake about is how shut Sharon and Renee, Vince’s ex, appear to be now. They don’t assume an excessive amount of of it as a result of it looks as if this odd pairing helps Sharon heal. I don’t know if I belief Renee although – I’ve obtained my eye on that one.
Whereas on a name, Bode and Jake are tasked to assist this man, Gage, who was caught on a zipper line. A picnic blanket obtained caught on the road principally trapping him – it was a part of a shock he was attempting to set as much as suggest to his girlfriend. As soon as he’s saved, he by chance units off fireworks. Now think about fireworks mixed with the dry season in California; the fireworks began a hearth. It was rapidly put out, however Bode loses it on Gage. Brett sees this and tells him to hearken to his captain (Jake was telling him to settle down) or he’d be suspended. Truthfully, everyone knows Bode goes via it, however this crash out was legitimate and was so Vince coded. I couldn’t be upset with it.

Sharon stops by the station and has a chat with Bode. This scene between them had me so emotional for therefore many causes. You could possibly simply see the burden Bode’s been holding since dropping his father obtained lighter as he advised his mom he didn’t cease by to see what his father left him as a result of he wasn’t anticipating something. He’s so arduous on himself, and it’s like he didn’t really feel like he deserved to be left something. Sharon tells him that the need was written earlier than he got here again, however that she and his father at all times talked about what he’d give Bode and it was his wedding ceremony band. Sharon tells him that Vince beloved him all the best way to the tip. They share this emotional second and I beloved that when Bode began crying Sharon stated she was going to cry with him.
Eve put collectively this dinner for Vince’s birthday the place she tries to make one in every of his dishes. It’s a small intimate gathering sans Bode, however Sharon is giving him the house he wants proper now. This final scene with Eve’s track was stunning. To me this felt just like the second everybody was actually beginning the therapeutic course of. For Bode, this meant doing an intense exercise which was troublesome to me, however I’d reasonably or not it’s that than something self-destructive.

On their subsequent shift, Brett commends Jake on how he dealt with Bode’s crash out on the final name. He says that he doesn’t assume his presence at Station 42 can be lengthy as a result of he believes Jake would make a fantastic Battalion Chief. This makes Jake joyful however that rapidly fades when Brett says that Bode is an issue now and doesn’t assume it’ll get higher. He wonders if Jake would be capable of do what must be completed when that point comes– would he be capable of take away Bode from Station 42?
